Answer:
1. £48.
2. 9 centimetres.
3. 31 stickers.
Step-by-step explanation:
1. Since Dora spent 1/3 of her money, we can set up an equation to find out how much money she has in total.
1/3D = £72.
1/3 * 3D = £72 * 3
D = £216.
That means that Dora had £216, but then spent £72. 216 - 72 = £144. So, Dora has £144 left.
Since both people have the same amount left, and Jack spent 1/4 of his money, we can set up an equation.
3/4J = £144
(4/3)(3/4)J = 144(4/3)
J = £192.
That means that Jack had £192, but he spent it all until he only had £144 left. The amount that he spent was 192 - 144 = £48.
2. First, we can solve for the area of the inner white square. 4 * 4 = 16. The area of the white square is 16 centimetres squared.
Add that to the blue region, and you can get the area of the entire square. 65 + 16 = 81.
To find the area of a square, you do side length times side length. So, to find the side length from an area, you do the square root of the area. sqrt(81) = sqrt(9 * 9) = 9.
The length of the large blue square is 9 centimetres.
3. To start, a = 207 stickers and m = 150 stickers. x = the amount of stickers given to Alex.
a + x = 2(m - x)
207 + x = 2 * 150 - 2x
207 + x = 300 - 2x
x + 2x = 300 - 207
3x = 93
x = 31
So, Mo gave Alex 31 stickers.
Hope this helps!!
